89 Georgia Cities Voting on Sunday Sales

Will decide whether to permit grocery, c-stores to sell alcohol on Sundays

ATLANTA -- The Georgia Food Industry Association said that 89 cities throughout Georgia are set to hold Sunday alcohol sales referendums during this year's November general election, according to the Associated Press.

The group said the votes represent about 2.5 million Georgians.

Association president Kathy Kuzava commended city and county leaders for giving residents the option to vote on the issue.

The new law passed earlier this year allows local leaders to ask voters to decide whether to permit grocery and convenience stores to sell alcohol on Sundays.

Georgia is currently one of only three states that prohibit Sunday retail alcohol sales.
